Sea-level to 2500 ft. . November—February. A common Australian and Tasmanian 
plant. 
A very handsome and conspicuous species. Mr. Colenso’s D. flagellifera, as shown 
by the specimens in his herbarium, is merely a small state with narrower and often simple 
leaf-segments, and can be matched in any locality where the plant is plentiful. 
6. D. aurieculata Backh. ex Planch. in Ann. Sci. Nat. Ser. 3, 1x (1848) 
295.—Rootstock slender, terminating in a globose tuber deep in the 
eround. Stems leafy, erect, flexuose and wiry, simple or sparingly branched, 
perfectly glabrous, usually 6-18in. high but sometimes much longer and 
almost climbing. Radical leaves rosulate, sometimes reduced to linear 
scales ; blade orbicular or reniform, glandular; petiole short, broad, Fase 
Cauline leaves alternate, on longer filiform petioles, peltate ; blade 4 + in.

inserted at the base of the calyx. Stamens as many or twice as many as 
the petals, inserted with the petals and sometimes adnate to them. Ovary 
superior, of as many carpels as petals; carpels free or connate below, 
l-celled, usually with a small gland or scale at the base of each;
